You fail to see the forest for the trees Peaches.
We have an incredibly small number of handgun deaths a year (never over 50) and many of these can be attributed to the activities of the underworld and organised crime. In the same timespan shotgun deaths are down from 107 to 54, hunting rifle deaths from 231 to 76.
The point is that total firearm deaths have virtually halved since introducing gun control. I think this can be regarded as a success.
